The Liberal Media Attacks!........ State Schools?!?!

I would also like to remind you Trainer that it's because of Jim Calhoun that people like Ray Allen, Omeka Okefor, Rudy Gay, Ben Gordon, Richard Hamilton, etc went to school there and because those guys went to UConn and made it into the NBA they usually are able to give back a substantial amount of money to the school and for some schools like UNC Dean Smith set the example by not allowing his former players to donate to the athletics department.

Most of Calhoun's contract is probably paid by alumni donations anyway

This is a very, VERY rare occurance.. but i agree with you, Lyle on this..

As far as the question went, was it an appropriate question? sure.. was it an appropriate time? absolutely not.. This could've been asked one on one, or in a smaller press conference, where the report could have then REPORTED the information to the general media.. Calhoun is a big name in college ball, along with Krzyewski (sp), Boeheim, R. Williams etc.. It's not like he is an underachieving, overpaid, small time coach..

All i know is that i was at the PC/Pitt game last night and witnessed something AMAZING. Go Friars!
